Lust-The one thing that you can’t live without.
Flesh to flesh, heart to heart. It is the very essence of our desires
It fulfills our every wake fire
Whenever we are in dire
Thoughts of wonder consume the mind
To wish and yearn to bind
The ever changing mind
Grabs hold of the soul
In order to feel whole
The beating heart quakes and shivers
At the thought of reveling
In pure ecstasy
It’s too much to bare
When feelings are there
And the touch is too real
Breathing in and out
Only furthers the doubt
That you won’t get out
The cycle shifts and twists
Until you can no longer drift
You just have to give in to this one sin
Gluttony-The selfish side of us all.
The side that tells us we are above it all
We don’t need to heed the call
The need is warranted and exact
The need begs and extracts
Consuming is natural but opposites attract
There is no need to avoid this trap
Distractions won’t work for long
One day we all fall
Just on sip to quench the fight
No need to be fright
It’s your right
Let the indulgence flow
It’s all about to show
How does it feel
To be in control
No one could speak on your defining peak
This is your moment as we speak
Indulge or be cast aside
You have too much pride
You just have to enjoy the ride
Greed-Everything and anything we want.
The side of our heart that wants to shine
Like diamonds in the sky
The pursuit is never ending
The drive is even more commending
Everyone wants to be you but they can’t
No wonder they never stood a chance
Blessed he feels on a daily basis
Selfish is what others make take him
The world is his for the taken
He need not ask for permission
Riches beyond imaginable to tame
Everyone knows the name of the game
There is no question to bare
Money is what he holds dear
Consuming the very depths of you
Be careful or greed will be the death of you
Sloth-The feeling of none at all.
The lack of self awareness that we have
The broken spirit that is within our grasp
Unaware of our surroundings we’re often convinced
That this is the best our life can get
We don’t need to dive into our thoughts
Because they only prove what we want
No one understands what we go through
They don’t even try to comprehend
It doesn’t matter because we get it
Why bother with the insignificant
As if anyone can feel my pain and shadows
The truth would be hard to swallow
I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine
There is nothing wrong with my life
I’m content within my strife
Wrath-The gateway to revenge.
I have been wronged in the worst possible way
By someone that I would have preferred to stay
Gave my heart to a king
Who would never give me a ring
Full of hope and love for what might have been
If only I could have seen the end
My love, sweet love, if only you knew
How much hurt and pain I would endure for you
But I can no longer let you throw dirt on my name
Cursing my love while avoiding the shame
What does she have that I don’t
The thought of you loving another has me messed up
I tried to be patient in our love
But now it’s time for you to meet the maker above
I hope you understand that this had to be done
My love and hard work won’t be for none
I loved you but my wrath has won
Envy-When jealousy takes over.
Why should I continue to be alone
While the next person doesn’t know
She doesn’t deserve what she has
She doesn’t love him like I have
No idea what its like
To love someone with all your might
She doesn’t appreciate you
It constantly makes me mad
She doesn’t deserve any of it
She will only ruin it
People take in the lies
While I promise not to hide
My aching love for you
It’s all I will ever do
I won’t stand idly by
As someone has what’s rightfully mine
I will get the prize
Pride-Everyone wants to be me.
If there is one thing that I have learned
It’s that pride keeps me sustained
It’s easy to be me
You just have to try
Although if you did you still wouldn’t succeed
You have to have a need to proceed
Instead your stuck in your old ways
Making excuses everyday
No wonder your life hasn’t changed
You don’t have the appetite for my life
Only the strong could agree
That there is nothing wrong with this
The rewards are all I need
My name will be remembered for many years
While you will only have yourself to blame
If only you had the pride to change.
